There are hundreds of aquarium and planted tanks out there using the MakersHEATSINK, but we have never seen one like this. David Wood works with the Los Angles ABC news station and uses his MakersHEATSINK fixture to help produce the news. David was kind enough to share a few photos from his unique LED lighting application.
David has definitely gone the extra mile, putting 2x 90W fixtures into his ENG (electronic news gathering) toolbox, including a daylight 5600k and a mixed 3200k/5600k version. As show in in the photos, there are some unique features to this build, including a XLR 4-pin power plug, external 12v-16v input, 2 position power switch, MakersDRIVER 2up PRO, fuse, and waterproof power supplies. David uses high end LEDs rated at 3V @ 1Amp, in combination with lenses.
On his next build, he plans on using 12 even higher quality LEDs with reflectors instead of lenses. He also has another camera-mounted build in the works using the MakersHEATSIN Slim with a dual controlled 3200W/5600k fixture at 35w.
David said that his builds have been “a lot of fun to design and build, as well as a nice tool to have in a more mobile environment in today’s ENG environment.”
We’re impressed and give kudos to David for his high build quality and eye for detail.
